Running, the Emperor took Meihua's body to Zhuanshi's palace. The doctors were brought in, the servants ran around preparing warm water, clean clothes, bandages, and medicine. Meihua was carefully laid. Physician Hu who examined the wound, let out a heavy sigh. Physician Hu was a military physician, skilled in treating sword wounds, poison and arrows as the Empress did.
After wringing the Empress' stomach to hold back the amount of blood that came out, physician Hu turned his head towards the Emperor.
"Reporting Your Majesty, the Empress's current condition is extremely critical. The queen lost a lot of blood. In his stomach was a spear wound. On his left shoulder behind him was injured by an arrow. This arrow wound did not hit the heart, but seeing from the amount of blood that was released, I felt that there was a large blood vessel cut off..."
"Continue!"said emperor Tian yi seeing the doubt of physician Hu to continue his explanation.
"Your Majesty, when the arrow is pulled, then the servant also needs to gouge out his arrow. But a woman's consort so...."
"No problem, the most important thing is that his life is safe."
"Your Majesty. The servant needed several people to help and one person to press around his wound. When the arrow is drawn, then blood will spurt out, "he looked at the servants.
"Zhen himself will help you, as soon as possible, every precious minute to save the Empress's life!" Emperor Tian Yi advanced.
"But your majesty, his blood will probably be very much. I'm afraid you'll get dirty with blood later."
"Don't mind me, do it right away! Zhen was the son of the heavens, if the king of the underworld dared to bring the Empress then Zhen would not allow it!"
"Good."
Meihua's body was seated. Li Mei and a female servant restrained her body from the front. Emperor and physician Hu were at the back. Around the arrow, the Empress's clothes had been cut, to make it easier for physician Hu to examine her wounds.
Physician Hu took a deep breath, then began to prepare to pull out the arrow. When the count of three is lifted as powerful as the arrow.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh", Meihua cried out in pain and then fainted again. Fresh blood instantly gushed out, some even hitting Emperor Tian Yi's face.
The Emperor swiftly pressed the wound down with a fine cloth, holding back the blood from getting more and more out. The torn wound around the arrow was so terrifying to see even an Emperor so brave on the battlefield that it closed his eyes. Physician Hu immediately sprinkled the medicinal powder to prevent more and more blood from escaping.
Li Mei cried so hard, while carrying a rag and warm water she came forward to help healer Hu wipe the blood from her non-human body. As soon as the blood stopped because it had been given medicinal powder to stop the blood, physician Hu rebounded the wound aided Li Mei.
Now that Meihua had changed into clean clothes, the bed that was originally soiled by blood had also been replaced. The injuries he suffered had been dealt with by physician Hu.The emperor had changed clothes, and was now waiting for Meihua anxiously.
Lianhua and General Li came to the palace, Lianhua wept in silence watching her daughter's suffering. Together with the Emperor and a number of servants and healers Hu could not go home, they waited for Meihua's condition to improve.
The emperor even told Meihua to the queen mother. At Tianlong Temple, the Queen Mother cried in silence. After offering prayers to the god, the Queen Mother decided to visit the palace, to see the Empress.

The night came so fast, Meihua was still unconscious. The medicine that had been boiled had cooled again. Physician Hu said worriedly that the Empress was afraid that she would not survive tonight. The emperor who heard him tightened his jaw, with clenched hands leaving Meihua's care bed. In the Hall, Consort Ming also looked anxious. The baby Mei Lian who was always in her carry had been taken care of by a servant.
Everyone did not sleep that night, all offering prayers for their Empress, pleading for safety and health for the Empress.
Towards dawn, a groan came out from the mouth of Meihua, the Emperor who was standing guard next to the bed immediately awake. Soon he called physician Hu.
"Tabib, check the Queen's condition immediately!"
"Your Majesty." Physician Hu examined seriously, a moment later his forehead frowned then changed with a smile.
"What's wrong? When will the Queen wake up?" Emperor Tian yi was getting curious.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has passed her critical period, now it is just waiting for the Empress to awaken and drink the medicine that has been boiled," said physician Hu while kneeling.
"Wakeup! All of you, leave us! If the Empress wakes up Zhen will call you!"
"Good." One by one they left the contest room, the last of which was Lianhua. Her eyes were still swollen, but her lips were covering a wide smile.
After everyone left, Emperor Tian Yi sat down next to Meihua, and started holding his hand again.
"Emer, awake. It's not enough to torture Zhen like this. Wake up and smile at me!" The emperor began to shed tears. "Zhen is a useless husband, unable to protect you, you sacrificed so much for me, even your own life. If anything happens to you, Zhen will be very sorry for a lifetime."
Silent. There was no response from Meihua. Meihua's face was as white as paper, her lips were even so pale. Both of her eyelids closed perfectly, hiding both of the usually beautifully sparkling neutrals.
Long enough Emperor Tian Yi cried silently beside Meihua's bed. The words of physician Hu, that perhaps the Empress could not be saved. Only a miracle could help the Queen. But does the miracle of God really exist?

The Queen Mother's chariot stopped two miles away from the great wall separating the capital from the outside world. Since it was night time, they decided to set up a tent there. The body of the queen mother begins to age, her health is also not as good as before. Taking the long journey from Tianlong Temple to the Palace required a lot of energy.
After the tent was successfully set up, the female servants began to share the task of preparing food. The male servants helped light the fire and other affairs. Meanwhile, an army commander sent by Emperor Tian Yi to pick up the queen mother, was alerting his troops.
The safety of the Queen Mother is very important, even beyond their own security.
A beautiful girl, delicate white like snow jade, walked gracefully towards the tent belonging to the Queen Mother. In his hand was a tray with a light blue jade bowl that was still reflecting hot steam.
"Jia'er saluted the Queen Mother."
"Aiyaa this girl. What the hell are you doing? Stand up!"
The girl who called out her own name as Jia'er smiled sweetly, then stepped gracefully towards the Queen Mother's bed. "Suri's mother. This is a lotus seed porridge that has just been made by itself. Please taste!"
"The good girl. All right, I'll taste it."
"Be careful, you're still hot."
The bowl changed hands immediately. The queen mother blew it slowly before tasting the porridge.
"Enak and very sweet," praised the Queen Mother. "You're good at cooking."
Jia'er smiled slightly.
"Thank you for the Suri's compliment."
"Why do you always call me the Queen Mother? Call me grandma!"
"Can it be like that? What if people start gossiping that isn't right."
"What can't? Your father was one of the princes of the Wu kingdom. Even if he's not my son, he's still my son, you're still my grandson."
"alright. Jia'er will obey grandma's orders."
"Wait until we get back to the palace, your brother will definitely be delighted."
"Sister Tian Yi right now must be sad, granny. The empress is sick, aren't we going back to the palace because of this?"
"You're right. So you have to entertain him later. Help your Tian Yi brother take care of himself!"
"Jia'er understands."
"Good boy, good girl. For more than six years you must have suffered."
Jia'er shook his head slowly, "not at all. Although we live a simple life, but the servants treat me well, grandma. They love me."
"Thank God. Thank goodness."
The queen mother stroked Jia'er's hair slowly, the corner of her eyes inundated with tears. Still clinging to his memory, prince Wu Jing Xu, Jia'er's father was an obedient and jolly child. Young Jing Xu always visited him with various kinds of his favorite food. Jing Xu's birth mother died while giving birth to her.
Although not her real mother, young Jing Xu always cared for her. Jing Xu and Tian Yi's relationship was also always good. Unfortunately at one of the wars on the border, Jing Xu had to sacrifice his life for the country. Leaving behind his wife and a daughter, eleven-year-old Wu Shen Jia.
The three-year mourning period passed by the mother and child well. Unfortunately Xu Wangfei's health deteriorated, not even a period of mourning was over, he had to be willing to leave his only daughter to catch up with the husband. The mourning period is back in three years.
The innocent and carefree young Shen Jia had to grow up prematurely. Fortunately, all the servants in Prince Xu's residence always loved and protected him. They live together like a big family.
Every time only the envoys from the Palace always came to Prince Xu's residence. This time because the Queen Mother was staying in the Temple, she felt that Jia'er was old enough to enter the Palace. So decided that the girl would stay by his side for a while, in order to learn the various rules of the child and the rules of the palace.
This time because the empress was injured and her condition was dire, the Queen Mother decided to visit the Palace and introduce Shen Jia to the Palace where her father grew up.

The Queen Mother's entourage arrived the next day. Welcomed by the people who had returned from exile, the Queen Mother's entourage arrived at the palace. Emperor Tian Yi directly led the welcome for the Mother at the main gate. Although every second worried about Meihua's condition.
"Greetings to Mother."
"Yi 'er. Stand up quickly! Hows it? How are you doing? Are you hurt too? Are you all right?"the Queen Mother asked as she examined Tian Yi's entire body.
The Emperor smiled, "Ananda is fine Mother. It's just the Empress..."
"Empress Meihua how is she doing?"
"There's so much pity. He is big-spirited and kind-hearted. Saving the life of a child who wasn't even his real son."
"really so. It is a fortune for our Wu kingdom to have such a good Empress. Grandma take it easy, Empress is a good person, and good people are always protected by the sky." Without being able to contain himself, Jia'er made a sound. His words invited the curiosity of many people, even Tian Yi who was looking at him fixedly.
"Ah. Yi'er, she is Prince Jing Xu's daughter, Jia'er," the Queen Mother explained.
"Greetings Your Majesty the Emperor, may peace always be." Jia'er greeted me with reverence. Emperor Tian Yi smiled slightly, then patted Jia'er's shoulder slowly. "You're a big boy now? Wake up! Thank you for taking care of my mom for the last few days."
"Can look after grandma is Jia'er's honor."
"From Mother. You should rest first, the matter of looking at the Empress can be done after you don't feel tired anymore."
The Empress Dowager followed Emperor Tian Yi's steps into the Palace with Jia'er behind her.

"Bao-yu, don't you feel tired just lying in bed like this?"lirih Tian Yi's. The sun has been replaced by the moon. The night also began to dissolve, there was no night bug rattling. Everything was silent, as if they were grieving because the Empress was lying weakly on the bed.
For a long time the Emperor was awake by tightly grasping the Empress' hand. When the sleepiness could not be restrained and he almost fell asleep, a groan was caught by his ears.
"Water. Water..." Meihua's eyelids flickered slowly, trying to adjust to the light that suddenly entered her retina. It did not escape the Emperor's attention. Immediately near her Meihua.
"Meihua, you realize? Are you conscious?"
"Water..."
"Water? You want a drink? Wait a minute, let Zhen get it."
Tian Yi was overjoyed not to be a bitch, immediately his hand reached out to the porcelain teapot on the table. With trembling hands Tian Yi poured water into a small cup. The clanking of the clashing cups made a loud noise in the middle of the night like this, leaving Li Mei who was asleep in front of the door aghast.
Opening the door quickly, Li Mei saw Emperor Tian Yi pour a cup of water with his own hands and began to help Meihua drink. Wait up! Meihua drink? Then the Queen of Siuman?
"Your Majesty, are you aware? Thanks god. Thanks." Li Mei's call shocked the Emperor. Glaring sharply, Emperor Tian Yi immediately had Li Mei summon physician Hu and healer Han.
"Li May! Quickly call the healer! What are you doing on the floor?"
Li Mei who was prostrating to the god immediately woke up in a respectful manner. "good. Servants will do it."
Without thinking of any manners, Li Mei immediately ran over quickly after previously waking up another servant to accompany her.
"Hua 'er. Thank goodness you woke up. Is anyone sick? Do you feel like there's something weird about your body? Wait a minute, the healer will be here soon."
"Your Majesty, how long have you been asleep?"
"Three days. All these three days everyone's been crying, everyone's worried about you. Not even the healers were Zhen allowed to go home. They should be there when you're awake."
"Is Mei Lian okay? Is the war over?"
"He's fine. Now she is with Consort Ming. You take it easy."
"Hongmei... How is he?"
"Have met the king of the underworld."
"You sentenced him to death?" There was a surprised tone in Meihua's voice. Emperor Tian Yi nodded.
"Aren't you afraid, Mei Lian will hate you when she grows up?"meihua Lirih.
"Fear what? His mother was like that. He has a huge debt of gratitude to you!"
"His Majesty the Emperor. The healer has arrived. The doctor has come." Li Mei shouted loudly along with the door that opened. Physician Han and physician Hu entered simultaneously.
"Li Mei don't you know it's midnight now? You're shouting loudly with your cry! Aren't you afraid of Zhen's law?"
"Ampuni servant. It's just that the servant was too happy to see the Empress was already conscious. His Majesty the Emperor may punish the servant, but after the Empress recovers. Can I?"
"You...!!!"
"Your Majesty. Just understand Li Mei's behavior!" Meihua's words made Emperor Tian Yi sit down again. Silently Li Mei sighed in relief, the little maid raised her thumb towards Meihua.
"Greetings Your Majesty the Emperor. Greetings Your Majesty the Empress."
"Easy! No need for manners. Quick check Meihua!"
"Good."
The two healers examined Meihua, then discussed slowly. After that physician Hu reported the results of his examination.
"Report Your Majesty the Emperor. The Queen has now passed her critical period. It just needs a complete recovery. The servant will prescribe medicine for his recovery, and physician Han will routinely check his health condition."
"So right now the Queen's life is not in danger?"
"No, Your Majesty. There's nothing more to worry about."
"Goodoo. Real nice. You hear that Hua'er? You must be obedient to take medicine and eat healthy food for your recovery!"
Meihua smiled slightly, before closing her eyes again. Seeing that Emperor Tian Yi panicked back.
"Meihua. Why else would you?"
Physician Han again checked Meihua's condition. Afterwards the middle-aged healer heaved a sigh of relief.
"His Majesty the Empress just fell asleep. It seems waking up some time wastes his energy."
"alright. You can come back, after everything is done, Zhen will give you both a big gift!"
"Thank you for the Emperor's generosity. Excuse me."
Meihua, it's good that this time you escaped from the king of the underworld. Later you can't do something that risks taking your life away!
.

Within a month, the Empress' condition had completely healed. With a variety of drugs and nutritious plants, now the Queen's facial hue looks more fresh. The heroic actions of the Empress on the battlefield that saved Mei Li's life became the talk of all the people who had returned to the capital.
Now the Queen's name is getting fragrant, and the people love their Empress more and more. Remnants of many rebels surrendered and are serving time on the border. Kang's family is destroyed and destroyed. A supportive family with close ties to Kang's family gasped to clear their name. Despite not taking part in the plot of the rebellion, the people cornered them and the Emperor was cold to them.
Today the bored Empress stayed in the Zhuanshi palace constantly, deciding to take a walk. The place he was referring to was the imperial garden. Although Meihua flowers have not started blooming yet, there are still many flowers that he can enjoy.
When he stepped into the gazebo, he saw Xiao Wu planting flowers deftly.
"Li Mei call Xiao Wu here!"
"Good." Li Mei walked up to the young man relaying the Empress's order.
"Greetings to the Empress."
"Xiao Wu, just go ahead. I know your love affair with Ming's sister, and I'm willing to help him. The emperor did not mind either. What do you think?"
Xiao Wu's eyes twinkled, "do Your Majesty the Empress really want to help the servant?"
"Yes, but there's a price to pay. If you agree to just say it,"Meihua looked at Xiao Wu sharply.
"good. I will do anything for Mingfen."
Meihua smiled, what a real love. "Lucky brother Ming got a young man like you. I had told the Emperor that Ming's sister wanted to live outside the palace. To be ordinary people. But I'm not saying that Ming's sister is related to you. You know why?"
Xiao Wu shook his head, "the servant is so stupid, it doesn't catch the meaning of the Empress' words."
"If I told you that Ming's sister wanted to live outside the palace with you. The emperor would feel humiliated to have been compared to a servant. Not an ease for Ming's sister, instead he could be forever locked up here." Meihua paused for a moment. "You'd better resign from your job as a waiter. Wait for Ming's sister in town, after he exits the palace, pick him up and go with him."
"Xiao Wu will obey the Empress' order."
"There's more. Since Mingfen was a concubine, being divorced by the Emperor was a disgrace and considered a misfortune for the entire family, so he could not return to his family nor get in touch with them. In other words Mingfen would be considered 'dead' by his family."
Xiao Wu was silent. His mind raged on all sorts of thoughts. On the one hand he was eager to be with the girl he loved, on the other he felt sorry if Mingfen had to forget his family."
"I've talked about this with sister Ming. And he agreed, he gave up his entire family for a young man like you. Don't hurt Ming's sister, take care of her until the end of her life. Can you do this as my request?" Meihua's eyes glazed over.
"Hamba will do everything according to His Majesty's orders. I want to thank the Empress. May the Queen's kindness be reciprocated by multiples by Tian."
"Go away. Wait for Ming's sister in town. In these two days maybe he'll be out of the palace soon."
"Good." Xiao Wu saluted one last time, and turned his body to leave.
